Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Utilizing this Essential Tool
The Parabolic Microphone is a game-changer in Phasmophobia, significantly aiding in ghost hunting. This guide details how to unlock and effectively use this invaluable piece of optional equipment.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
Unlike standard equipment, the Parabolic Microphone requires unlocking. Reach Level 7 to purchase the first tier from the in-game shop. Further upgrades are available at Level 31 ($3,000) and Level 72 ($5,000). Remember, prestiging resets your progress, requiring you to unlock each tier again. You can equip up to two microphones regardless of team size.
Utilizing the Parabolic Microphone
Equip the Parabolic Microphone from your in-game truck before each investigation. Challenge Mode may require manual selection. The Tier 3 version includes a helpful directional radar.
On larger maps, the microphone's sound detection surpasses traditional methods like temperature gauges. Listen for ghost-related noises: object throws, door movements, or vocalizations. It's also crucial for completing optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings and identifying specific ghosts like the Deogen or Banshee through their unique audio signatures.
Conclusion
The Parabolic Microphone is a powerful asset in your ghost-hunting arsenal. Master its use to enhance your investigations and conquer even the most challenging Phasmophobia scenarios. Check The Escapist for more Phasmophobia guides and news.
